Samoa was the creation OF a King
with supposed Jurisdiction over all the
islands, but Malietoas authority was not
recognized outside OF OpoIu, and even
in that island his party was styled
''rebels" by those who adhered to the
ancient Samoan form of government
the federal rule of the chiefs as admins
tered by the two legislative bodies
called the Taimua and Faipule The
idea of a King is foreign to Samoan
ideas-the natives being strictly repub-
Iican IN their views, and the titles of
chiefs not being hereditary, but being
bestowed BY election of the governing
body.
Love Of war has always distinguished
the Samoans, and now, although Chris
tianitv and education are all embracing,
the natives find it difficult to give up
their old practice. Some fifteen years
ago, the adherents of young Malietoa,
being led to believe that his uncle-aIso
a Malietoa-had formed a scheme TO
usurp the functions of chief, declared
war; but young Malietoa, who has ever
been prone to place himself under the
guidance Of the missionaries, Withdrew
into privacy for time. The war was
carried on for some years with varying
results-the whole Of the islands being
dragged into the strife and the upshot
was the settlement effected by Sir
Arthur Gordon, and the elevation OF I
young Malietoa to the position of King. /
As showing the esteem in which Malie-
toa is held by the Samoans generally, it
is worthy of note that during the war
his person was held sacred and no at
tempt was made to attack him or make
him prisoner.
Tamasese claims to be the real owner
of the land at Mulinuu Point, where
King Malietoa had established the seat
Of his government. A portion of this
land had been acquired by an American
named Coe, who sold it to the German
Plantation Company, and the latter
erected a flagstaff upon it, and hoisted
the Imperial German flag. This flag
was continual annoyance to the MaIie-
loa party, and had Iatterly been re-
moved by force-the flag of Samoa
under that OF the United States being
affixed in its stead.

THE RIVAL KINGS OF SAMOA.

THE RIVAL KINGS OF SAMOA.
The following is from the Auckland
n. j., ''Star" of recent date: Malietoa
is chief of the highest caste in Samoa.
The name signifies great warrior" and
its present bearer is the descendant in
direct line from the ancient chief who
first obtained the high and honorable
title for his bravery in wars against the
Tongans. He is still a comparatively
young man, but F'the cares of State
have been many, and have left their
marks upon his forehead, and his feat
ures wear habitual expression of anx-
ious dehberation. He was recognized
as King of Samoa by England, Germany
and the United States, and so far as is
known, is still entitled to be looked upon
in that capacity His rival, Tamasese,
who has been proclaimed King bv the
German Commodore, is not of such high
caste, though, Ike Malietoa, he was
chief Of standing and authority. By re-
cent advices, the Germans had sue
ceeded in bringing forward a third
claimant to Samoan sovereignty, but his
claims appear to have been dropped.
These three Kings" so-called, no
doubt represent the three districts into
which the island of Upolo used to be
divided, each having it's chief with the
title of ''Tui." Malietoa was ruler of
the central part of the island, Tuama-
saga, in which the town and port of
Apia is located, and nearly the whole of
the European population being in his
territory caused him to be looked upon
as OF superior authority. In point of
act, however, his native following has
always been in the minority.

The German Government have also con-
